Intern Testimonials

It was the best learning and engaging experience I've ever had. I wouldn't trade the people, experience, memories, or environment for anything." - Francis 

“Masakhane welcomed me with open arms to learn, unlearn, and actively reflect. Being in community with others to discuss important topics made the experience even more enhanced and special for me. From training to creating my own projects, Stephanie affirmed me and gave me the space to give myself grace. My overall experience is something that will follow me forever. This organization is what young people need to thrive, pour into themselves, and into their communities.” - Na’Kiya Thompson 

“My experience has been nothing but positive. Masakhane creates such a safe place that I always felt comfortable with everyone I worked with.

There are so many things I learned from this internship that I will always carry with me as well as some lifelong friends. :)” - Emily Guerrero

“Interning with Masakhane is one of the most impactful and unique learning opportunities I have seen and experienced. Masakhane's mission to provide anti-oppressive, radical sexuality education shows in their visible practices in centering their learners both in the classroom and in the internship. I am at a loss for words to describe the gratitude I feel for my experience as a Sexuality Educator Intern this Spring. There is magic happening here!” - Momo Ramstedt

“Masakhane has been such a wonderful experience for me. I've become more confident with who I am as a person and as an educator. I feel like many questions I've had about myself were answered here through all the different sexuality topics we delved into, and I definitely feel more empowered with the knowledge I got from this internship. I've met so many amazing people from all different backgrounds and I have learned so much from them. I'll always be so grateful for this experience at Masakhane!” - Sabriya Saif

“Interning at Masakhane Center offers opportunities to build connections, learn from highly knowledgeable folks, and enhances personal and professional development!” - Riddhi Patel

“I would say working with Masakhane was probably the most validating, affirming, and necessary experiences I have had thus far. The way we were encouraged to rethink education as a more collaborative process rather than simply lecturing and instructing participants has helped me to understand why certain educational structures don't work for everyone. I also feel like a more confident activist and will continue to advocate and talk about the importance of Masakhane's mission for sex positive and inclusive sex education for all <3” - Shiloh Gordillo
